Your original Mandrake lilo.conf specifies the wrong kernel ( the Mandrake kernel, not the DSL one) . Depending on what you've done since, it is possible you are booting from the wrong kernel.
Try:
uname -r
the output of this should be that the DSL kernel is 2.4.20-xfs or something like that ( I'm in Debian at the moment so I can't check...)
When I set up my triple boot (XP, Debian, Mandrake), I found initially that the defaults copied from the Mandrake lilo.conf worked- but in fact they were wrong, and uname -r showed the wrong kernel....Also scsi settings for cd-rom and cd-rw were wrong and had to be appended in lilo.conf. A certain amount of research was necessary to correct everything, but unfortunately I can't remember the exact details.... good luck!
